...panelists showed slides of dead East Timorese women and children, including one particularly graphic photo of an infant who had been killed by a gunshot wound to the head...
...surpassingly strange family. Father (Roland Blouin) is a brute laborer; "wrinkles line his face and reveal nothing but the age that dug them." Mother (Ginette Reno) loves the boy, but she is obsessed with bowel movements as nature's prophylactic -- "Push, my love," she whispers urgently to the infant Leo, a captive princeling enthroned on a potty.

At a Jerusalem bus stop on the same day, an assailant believed to be Palestinian stabbed a man to death and injured a woman before fleeing. Israeli soldiers shot and killed five Palestinians last week, for a total of 18 this month. The blood swapping comes amid tensions over the deportation in December of about 400 Palestinians as well...
